Rulemaking - Solar Offset Program

Docket# 10-SOPR-1

Committee oversaw this proceeding:

Robert B. Weisenmiller, Chair and Presiding Member
Renewables Committee

Public Resources Code Section 25405.5, as enacted by Senate Bill 1, directs the California Energy Commission to develop regulations that require a seller of production homes, beginning January 1, 2011, to offer the option of a solar energy system to all customers negotiating to purchase a new production home constructed on land meeting certain criteria and disclose certain information. Public Resources Code Section 25405.5 also requires the Energy Commission to develop an offset program that allows a developer or seller of production homes to forgo the solar as an option offer requirement on a project by installing solar energy systems generating specified amounts of electricity on other projects.
